Nobody was ever arguing there was a biological advantage… As the comment you replied to pointed out, it’s about socialization. Since that mostly happens as children, those who transition as teens have already experienced much of that.
How does a trans-woman’s socialization compromise competitive integrity? That’s an entirely internal problem, and it doesn’t affect any other competitors. This is really just grabbing for any excuse to be transphobic.
I hypothetically agree, but note that you’re basically arguing for trans women to compete with men. Just in this scenario bio women also have to. And classically this results in men dominating and women being discouraged from even joining due to factors discussed above.

How does anyone know what socialization I had? Also, why does it even matter? This just feels like grasping for straws.
also feels like grasping at straw men
